Maine Communities Against Hate’s priority is to lessen the ongoing surge in hate incidents in Maine and its negative impact on our society through a public awareness campaign and outreach to affected communities.

We are also documenting hate incidents, providing a powerful tool to combat the commission of hate crimes and hate violence in the United States. This will help to:

Protect the rights of communities that are most vulnerable;

Connect victims of hate incidents to services while also protecting their privacy;

Using data collection of hate incidents as a tool for education and policy change;
